The lockdown in Cuba has been as disruptive as anywhere else, in fact even more extreme than most places.
The impact – skyrocketing food prices, the devastation of small businesses serving tourists, and yes hunger – has been severe.
Even before the lockdowns, times were economically tough in Cuba, Depression-level with cash and opportunities to make money very limited.
I can’t imagine how bad it is now, though I am getting reports.
Particularly sad to me has been the decimation of opportunities for young musicians and students to continue their educations.
For example, the country’s National High School of Music (ENA) has been shut down and all the kids sent home. ENA is a residential school in Havana that recruits the best young musicians from around the country.
Working with Camilo Moreira, a long-time friend of jazz on the Tube and ENA’s’ jazz band director, we’re creating distance education and performance opportunities for the kids.
This was Camilo’s first experiment, using Whatsapp. To accomplish this we bought Internet connections for all the participating students. Camilo is the wizard who is making it all happen. I have no idea of how he’s pulling it off.
This is the kind of thing you support when you support Jazz on the Tube.
Thank you to all our supporters whose support literally made this project possible.
We’d like to do more. Details: How to support Jazz on the Tube.

Musician extraordinaire…one of the most recorded artists in the history of recording…a member of so many iconic bands it would take pages to list them all…
…And an educator with a brand new masterwork that will resonate across the ages.
I’m not kidding.
For musicians, this is MUST be listening.
For people who love the music even if they don’t know a flatted fifth from a fifth of vodka, this interview will take you deeper into the REALITY of jazz as it’s performed at a high level than anything else I can think of.
Enjoy.
